Butter It Up!
Favorite Restaurant Beef Recipe
Adding complementary and delicious flavors to your steak recipe enhances your dining pleasure!
There are three "keys" to this wonderful steak:
- select a tender cut of quality natural beef steak
- cook the beef to the exact doneness you like
- add the properly prepared brandy butter
Steak Recipe with Brandy Butter
Preparation time: 10-12 minutes. Serves 4, but you may have extra butter to freeze for other times and other favorite restaurant beef recipes!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound butter
- 2 ounces brandy
- 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper or peppercorns
- 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 ounce fresh garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Four 4-6 ounce steaks (sirloin or another tender
cut of beef steak)
Instructions for this
restaurant recipe:
- Put all steak butter ingredients in a food
processor and process until creamy (or mix the old fashioned way in a bowl with
a spoon until creamy)
- You can heat your brandy butter in a pan or skillet if you wish (optional)
- Get your barbecue or your broiler hot
- Brush the steaks with olive oil and place on grill
- DO NOT SALT MEAT until it is off the grill
- Cook to desired doneness (temperature)
- Plate the steaks and let them "rest" for
a minute or two (they deserve it)
- Serve the steaks topped with about 1 tablespoon of
the brandy butter
That's it! Good job!
Hey, what about
the remaining brandy butter? No problem. Place in a container and into the freezer to use again!
I recommend using a meat thermometer to achieve perfection
in getting the exact doneness you desire for your steak. (See cooking temps
below).
Meat Thermometer Cooking Temperatures
NOTE! The meat continues to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the heat.
- RARE: 130-140 degrees
- MEDIUM-RARE: 140-150 degrees
- MEDIUM: 150-160 degrees
- WELL DONE: 160-170 degrees
